Digital Controls (Picture); Sample Rate Control - Art DPS II User Manual

There are several paths in which audio can reach the digital signal converters. One is
the using the analog inputs of the DPS II™. When used in said manner, the
analog signals of both channels in the DPS II™ automatically go into the digital
converters.
On the back of the DPS II™ there are insert jacks. One can either send out the
signals to an effects processor, such as an ART Dual Levelar for additional
compression, and return it to the DPS II™ using the rear TRS jacks on the back.
One could also patch directly into the returns off the insert, and patch something
directly to the A/D converters.

Sample Rate Control

This button controls the current sampling rate the DPS II™ is working at. By
cycling through the various settings, displayed by the upper LED row, one can
use a variety of sampling rates. When the ADAT setting is used, the DPS II™
syncs to incoming ADAT clock on the ADAT input. If the ADAT LED is blinking,
the DPS™ has failed to find a valid ADAT clock. When the LED is solidly lit, it
has found an acceptable ADAT clock signal. When EXT is selected, the DPS II™
looks to the Word Clock input and synchronizes itself to that. If no word clock
signal is present, the LED will blink informing you of that no valid word clock
signal is present.
Typically, the higher the sample rate, the more accurate the digital conversion is -
but frequently, one is limited by the digital recording system being used. Make
sure that, when selecting your sampling rate, the digital recording system you are
working with is capable of operating at the same rate.
